RB25DET wrote I have both and Evo 8 and a WRX '13 as well as a Genesis coupe. All have turbos and are long lasting. With the Evos look for an 8 and wrxs look for like 2005-11 depending on a better deal. 2010 Genesis coupes go for like 12k. You could also get a 05-06 STi for that money too


How is the genesis coupe? I was looking at it today online. Looks like a decent car. Stock turbo and the options to upgrade later on.

Would you recommend that vehicle?


It's definitely a fun car. I like the 2012 coupe with the 2.0T, since it's rwd you can get it sideways with the traction control off. But it only has 210 hp I believe so if you're use to fast cars it can seem a little slow but really it's not bad at all. Also I'm sure you can go around that problem with some mods to it but certainly look into one I love them

Yeah the 210 hp its pretty much the only downside of it. Mind showing a pic of you genesis?

Going to jump on the Evo train, my uncle has one. It's definitely a sweet car, would love to have one myself.

2005 Subaru Impreza will have a stock turbo. Shoot, nowadays any Subaru has a stock turbo inside of it.

Considering you want a turbo, chances are you want to modify the vehicle to make some serious power. Since you didn't classify AWD or FWD, ill drop an opinion for both.

AWD:
2006 Subaru STi. For your price range it'll be high mileage, so if you want a lower mileage go for the 2006 wrx. The 2006/2007 models was my favorite. The Hawkeye front is very eye appealing. Match that with a catback borla, best sounding car on the road.

FWD:
Knowing i'll probably get quite a bit of hate for it, but i'll recommend it anyways. I recommend the Dodge Neon SRT-4. Yes, it's a neon lol. Reason i'm recommending this is because I own one. With 14k, you can get a stock one, low miles, and have a couple thousand to throw in a big Garrett or Precision, some engine work, and new clutch. Pair that with a good tune, and youll be easily be pushing 350+. They're iffy when it comes to working on them, some things are a pain in the a** to get to, but overall not too difficult. These cars can be made insanely fast, and are quite an underdog. You have people running in the 9's with these cars, which is enough for any street car. I love my 2005, she has 112k miles, and still pulls hard. Biggest concern with these is their transmissions. Just take your time, and choose the right car.

Good luck on your car hunting, hope this helped.
